Negros Power Lowers Electricity Rates

Negros Power Lowers Electricity Rates This December 2025: Real Savings for Consumers Just in Time for the Holidays

Good news for electricity consumers in Negros. As the holiday season begins and households prepare for gatherings, brighter homes, and longer nights with family, Negros Power has announced a reduction in electricity rates for December 2025—a timely relief that directly benefits consumers.

From a consumer’s point of view, this update is more than just a technical adjustment. Lower power rates in December mean extra savings when electricity use is typically higher, whether it’s from festive lighting, cooking for family get-togethers, or simply spending more time at home.

Lower Residential Electricity Rate for December 2025

Negros Power’s average residential electricity rate for December 2025 is now ₱12.0441 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This is ₱0.1881 per kWh lower than November’s rate of ₱12.2322 per kWh.

While the difference may seem modest at first glance, the impact becomes clearer when applied to actual household consumption. For families managing monthly budgets, this reduction helps ease expenses during a season when costs naturally increase. Every peso saved on electricity is a peso that can be redirected to food, gifts, or savings.

Power Supply Cost Adjustments: WESM Rate Goes Down

A major contributor to the lower December rate is the significant decrease in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) rate.

For December 2025:

• The WESM rate dropped from ₱7.6709 per kWh to ₱6.0475 per kWh

• This reflects a ₱1.6304 per kWh decrease

• The reduction was largely driven by lower electricity demand following recent typhoons across the Visayas

• As a result, there was a ₱0.4339 per kWh decrease in overall generation charges

For consumers, this means that changes in supply and demand—when managed properly—can translate into tangible savings on monthly bills. It’s a reminder that the power market responds to real conditions, and when those conditions ease, consumers benefit.

Transmission Charges: Slight Adjustment, Minimal Impact

There was a slight increase in transmission-related costs, specifically in Ancillary Service Charges, which support system reliability.

• Charges increased from ₱60.2813 per kW to ₱62.9213 per kW

• This adjustment was necessary due to system conditions after the Visayas typhoons

• For residential consumers, this translates to an estimated ₱0.1932 per kWh increase

Despite this upward adjustment, it’s important to note that the overall electricity rate still declined. The reduction in power supply costs outweighed the increase in transmission charges, resulting in a net benefit for consumers.

Overall Impact: Net Rate Decrease Means Real Consumer Savings

Even with the slight transmission adjustment, the final computation shows a net decrease in electricity rates for December 2025. This means consumers still enjoy genuine savings on their monthly bills.

From a household perspective, this is reassuring. It shows that rate adjustments are balanced and that consumers are not burdened unnecessarily, especially during a season when electricity use is higher.

December 2025 Average Electricity Rates by Customer Type

For transparency, here are Negros Power’s average electricity rates for December 2025:

• Residential (RES): ₱12.0441 per kWh

• Low Voltage (LV): ₱12.0474 per kWh

• High Voltage (HV): ₱10.7804 per kWh

These updated rates reflect savings across different customer segments—from households to small businesses and larger establishments.

A Meaningful Holiday Relief for Negros Consumers

Lower electricity rates this December are a welcome development for consumers. Beyond the numbers, this update means more comfortable homes, brighter celebrations, and a bit of financial breathing room during the holidays.

As consumers, seeing actual reductions—clearly explained and reflected in the rates—builds confidence and appreciation. This December 2025 adjustment shows that when conditions allow, the benefits are passed on where they matter most: to the people using electricity every day.
